xdp: warn on XDP_PASS with stored values when XDP runs on an skb
This commit adds xdp_skb_ext_warn_skb() to warn when an XDP program running
on an existing skb returns XDP_PASS after storing skb extension metadata,
and skips generic XDP in xdp_skb_ext_warn_pass() to avoid warning twice.

[Severity: Critical]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but can veth_disable_xdp()
unregister rq->xdp_rxq [1] while veth_xdp_rcv_skb() or
veth_xdp_rcv_one() is still using it?
drivers/net/veth.c:veth_disable_xdp() {
for (i = 0; i < dev->real_num_rx_queues; i++)
rcu_assign_pointer(priv->rq[i].xdp_prog, NULL);
if (!netif_running(dev) || !veth_gro_requested(dev))
veth_napi_del(dev);
veth_disable_xdp_range(dev, 0, dev->real_num_rx_queues, false);
}
When detaching an XDP program on a running veth device with GRO enabled,
veth_disable_xdp() skips veth_napi_del(), so neither napi_disable() nor
synchronize_net() runs after clearing rq->xdp_prog:
CPU0 CPU1 (NAPI)
veth_disable_xdp() veth_xdp_rcv_skb()
rcu_read_lock()
xdp_prog = rcu_dereference(rq->xdp_prog)
rcu_assign_pointer(rq->xdp_prog, NULL)
veth_disable_xdp_range()
rq->xdp_rxq.mem = rq->xdp_mem
xdp_rxq_info_unreg(&rq->xdp_rxq)
bpf_prog_run_xdp(xdp_prog, xdp)
xdp_skb_ext_warn_skb(xdp_prog, xdp)
xdp->rxq->dev->name <-- NULL deref
xdp_rxq_info_unreg() clears rq->xdp_rxq.dev to NULL and resets
rq->xdp_rxq.mem.type while the NAPI poll is still running with xdp->rxq
pointing to rq->xdp_rxq. Beyond the NULL pointer dereference on
xdp->rxq->dev (here or when the BPF program reads ingress_ifindex), this
also causes page_pool leaks or use-after-free when frames are redirected,
transmitted, or freed.
